I don't recall any mention of glass manufacture in Scandinavia at the time,
however, you might check with Gunnhilda, the Viking Answer Lady.  The 10th
Century was in the heyday of the Viking excursions which began in the 8th
Century and tapered out in the 11th.  Glassware during that period likely
came as the fruits of raid and trade and would have been prized treasures of
the lady of the house.
